About StarChapter

StarChapter is a member-friendly association software company serving association chapters across the United States and Canada. StarChapter works directly with local chapter leaders, national trade and professional associations, association management companies (AMC), and other membership-based organizations to provide them with tools for growth.

StarChapter provides local association chapters, nationals and AMCs with tools to help them grow membership, attendance, and revenues whilst simultaneously making their chapter board more productive.

We facilitate efficiency within chapter organizations by helping users to manage everything from event planning, event registration, membership and communication with members; to content, website design and eCommerce.

Newsletter content management, mass email delivery and survey management tools enable valuable communication with members, whilst email delivery tracking reports on email delivery and engagement rates.

StarChapter combines event planning and event registration software capabilities with web design features for association chapter website development. StarChapter’s comprehensive membership management software provides customized chapter website designs, designated project managers for implementation, 24/7 online technical support, and training webinars. StarChapter continually enhances and develops applications and new features to continue meeting the needs of the many chapters they support.


Key benefits of StarChapter

Board members volunteer their time and often find themselves wasting it by doing monotonous and repetitive tasks. With StarChapter, they can spend time doing more productive tasks and helping their chapter grow by increasing meeting attendance, membership retention, and revenues.

StarChapter allows you to have member types, member groups and member categories as needed to effectively manage membership for setting meeting ticket pricing, access to areas of your website, and segmenting for emailing.

Getting membership and prospect records in and out of StarChapter is easy to do. Importing and exporting functionality is especially powerful for local chapters that need to sync their membership database with their national association.

StarChapter's reporting functionality allows you to run reports that can help keep track of your members activities.

Good days and bad days. There are still a lot things to learn. Knowledge based learning is good. Unfortunately time is a big thing when we all do the job as a volunteer.

Pros

Set up the meeting and the registration for the meeting. Check up the statistic of the use of the website.

Cons

Unfortunately Board member changes every year and new members needs training.

An annual introductory training sessions would help.

Every Platform Has Its Flaws

Reviewed on 30/11/2023

Pros

The website generally looks good and membership management is fairly seamless.

Cons

Payment is confusing for members, and we frequently overlook attendees because it is an unclear process. Reconciling payments on the back end is a mess, forcing someone to check multiple spots to determine what was included in a deposit.

It is a great BASIC service for organizations that do not need more than basic functionality and features and do not have a web wizard on staff. I believe there are better services out there, but the trade-off is expense and experience/knowledge in working with websites.

Pros

Ease of setup and updating the site with current material

Cons

We have not had some of the functionality that other competitors provide; batch membership dues processing/payment, integration with member ID badges to swipe and log attendance at events, no ability to send automated "attendance certification" email to members who attended an event (we could do this initially but was lost during a recent update to email functions). There have been other features that we would like to have but don't recall right now.

I am generally happy with the product, but I think there is always room for improvement. As the author [sensitive content hidden] says, the enemy of great is good.

Pros

I like the "one stop shop" features of managing our organization.

Cons

The product is mostly intuitive, but the webpage design and management features could be improved and simplified. The biggest thing that I think StarChapter can improve upon is the customer/technical service access. Talking to a real person the day of the issue is paramount to modern organizations, and I would suggest investing in the human capital to accomplish better customer or technical support.
